Then recently, | became more aware of cheap microwave radar motion sensor modules. The popular version of the pre-wired ‘module currently available on eBay is the RCWL-0516 microwave radar motion sensor module. The compact module holds all essential electronics, including an on-chip integrated low-voltage regulator. It is very easy to use and trivial to splice into the roost of a little project idea. hitps:wwnelectroschematics.comiget started-microwave-radar-motion-sensor! we srzai2024 How to Get Slarted with a Microwave Radar Motion Sensor ELECTRO SCHEMATICS 0 das an alternative wy the common PIR muution sensors widely used in RCWL-0516 burglar alarms and security lights. Like the PIR sensor, this sensor also detects only movements within its, detection range. But instead of sniffing the black body radiation from a moving person, this sensor uses 2 “microwave Doppler radar” technique to detect moving objects. It has a sensitivity range of ~7 meters. When triggered, its TTL-level output (OUT) pin will switch from LOW (0 V) to HIGH (3.3 V) fora finite time (2 t0 3s) before returning to its idle (LOW) state OE Peviey CE Learn more Key features: Supply Voltage: 4-28 VDC (tested with 5 V at my lab) Operating frequency: ~3.2 GHz (observed by me at my lab) ‘Transmit power: 20 mW (typical)/30 mW (max) Sensing Distance: 5~7 m (>3 m measured at my lab) Pinouts: DS — Sensor disable input (low = disable) VIN — 4- to 28-VDC supply input OUT — HIGH (3.3 V) motion detected/LOW (0 V) idle GND — Ground/oV 3V3 — Regulated DC output (100 mA max) This flexible sensor module can easily be used in conjunction with many microcontrollers and even without a ‘microcontroller at all. It can handle power supply inputs anywhere from 4 to 28 V. The output pin can be utilized fora multitude of tasks, such as for driving an aural/visual indicator or even linking with the /0 of any 3-V ‘microcontroller for further processing. During construction, avoid any metal part in front of the sensor module. Similarly, always keep a minimum of 1~cm clear space in the front and rear side of the module. hitps:wwnelectroschematics.comiget started-microwave-radar-motion-sensor! ana srzai2024 How to Get Slarted with a Microwave Radar Motion Sensor RWL.0516 sens RCWI-0516 Dope radar unit pinout ‘Surprisingly, detection distance and output timeout of the module can be adjusted by adding passive components in their respective solder pads located at the rear of the circuit board (see next figure). There is also a provision to add a light-dependent resistor (LDR/CDS), and a sensor disable input pin is available to defeat the ambient light sensing option if necessary. + CATM: Adjust repeat trigger time (default 2). Adding a capacitor wll give a longer repeat trigger time. + RGN: Detection distance adjustment (default 7 m). Adding a resistor the detection distance will become shorter. If ‘connected with a 1-MQ resistor, detection range Is about 5 m, + R-CDS: By adding a resistor (in parallel with the internal 1-MQ resistor), user can change the light detection threshold as. per Individual requirement. This is applicable only when alight sensor is soldered in its pads (CDS) on the front of the board. A.47-100K resistor works fine with standard 5-mm LORS. A word of caution: I could not find an official English datasheet of this module, so I've had to make some guesswork here based on the machine translation of Chinese to English. I'm not responsible for any damage that this could cause to your sensor module and/or interfaced microcontroller! REAR RCWI-0516 font and rer pictures with passive component ications Iighighted. These locations con be used to chonge the range functionality ofthe device The electronics of the module consists of two equally important sections: a microwave frequency transmitter/receiver/mixer based on the MMBR941M high-frequency NPN transistor and a much-lower frequency section based on an IC — RCWL-9196. Technically, the microwave section resembles a “Colpitt oscillator,” with the requisite inductor (and capacitors) made by citcuit board traces. The inductor (~10 nH) is, the S curve trace on the top surface, and capacitors are the ring structure on the bottom surface and also the rectangular block to the left of the S curve.

Here, note that the 1-ka resistor (RY is not necessary as the module already held a 1-ka. resistor between the OUT pin and actual output pin of the 16-pin onboard chip (RCWL-9196). Now to the schematic ofthe fist tet cic ‘The electromagnetic relay (RL1) in the circuit is driven by a standard BC547 transistor (11) and there is a lay on” indicator (LED1) that is when the relay isin an active state, I desired, you can also use other relays with a different supply voltage rating. However, in thatcase, the power supply input (now 5 V) will have to be changed (with some other minor modifications, of course). The 2-pin header (JP1) is reserved for the future and is practically usable only when alight sensor is connected to the module. 3 ROWLOSI6 Test Circuit For experimental purposes, this circuit can be constructed on a perfboard/breadboard. A5-pin header (only three are requited for the first test) can be used to connect the radar module, Shown below is the random snap of my quick test setup (also watch the test video): RCWL-0516 Test Setup motion-sensor! hitps:wwnelectroschematics.comigotstarted-microwave-ra ana srzai2024 How to Get Slarted with a Microwave Radar Motion Sensor S jer from the signal reflected by ed (CW) signal can be used al reflected from a target.

Colpitts Oscillator The Colpitts oscillator is a popular type of LC oscillator invented by Edwin Colpitts in 1918. The figure shown below depicts a typical BJT-based Colpitts oscillator with the tank circuit in which an inductor L is connected in parallel to the serial combination of capacitors C1 and C2. The frequency of the Colpitts oscillator depends on the components in its tank circuit and can be calculated by a simple formula (see figure). For example: IfL=27 UH, C1=1 nF, and C2=15 nF, then F=1 MHz. Note that the Colpitts oscillator can be tuned either by varying the inductance or the capacitance y 1 7 = off = casczpcncg =F SS Colpitts oscllator diagram Closing Thoughts In my opinion, the RCWL-0516 microwave sensor is a powerful alternative to the common PIR sensor, but this ‘model has very limited (scant) documentation, making it difficult for beginners. In addition to reading the “Chinese” material collected by me, | also did some research to aggregate as much information so someone can use it quickly. While, at the moment, I don’t see a use for this sensor module apart from its signified application of motion sensing, it can easily be adapted to add or modify functions! hitps:lwwnelectroschematics.comiget-started-micrawave-radar-motion-sensori srzai2024 How to Get Slarted with a Microwave Radar Motion Sensor Reference 1: An Overview of Microwave Sensor OSGi Polivka, Spacek Labs Inc.
